“I didn’t have a following when I released ‘Dance Monkey’, but [Shazam] gave me the opportunity to reach more people and elevate my fanbase, which has all led to creating a career for myself,” the Australian pop artist said in a press statement, as Variety reported.
Robin Schulz’s remix of ‘Prayer In C’ by Lilly Wood and The Prick and ‘Let Her Go’ by Passenger rounded out the top three. Every song which made the list was released in the last ten years.
Ed Sheeran and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are the only artists with multiple entries in the list’s top twenty. Sheeran’s tracks ‘Thinking Out Loud’, ‘Shape Of You’ and ‘Perfect’ all made the list, as did ‘Thrift Shop’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us’ by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
